Reception
Panfletonegro gave it an extremely critical review, describing the film as having poor aesthetics, calling the in-utero shots "particularly irritating and repulsive." The reviewer criticizes the film for being literal, heavy-handed, and having a conservative anti-abortion message. Describes it as "anticine" (anti-cinema) that underestimates its audience.[1]
In an interview, actress Gabriela Vergara discusses her role and the film's approach to abortion, stating the film aims to show both pros and cons of abortion without taking a definitive position.[3]
FULLTV stated "Good, fulfills its objective of entertaining. The plot is interesting and the characters stand out."[4]
